James (the owner) is always incredibly welcoming and positive. He makes one of the best coffees I’ve had in Sydney and his breakfast and snack options are very tasty and wallet friendly. I go here at least once a week. I can’t recommend tricycle cafe enough!

Cute little cafe with lots of pastries and cakes. I stopped in for a cappuccino and the avocado smash. The guy who runs the shop is really friendly and chats up all the locals. This is the kind of place where everyone send to be on a first name basis. I had an avo smash… very delicious! The space is straight forward and really endearing. I really like it!!!

James makes the BEST mochas and hot chocolates. He uses Belgium chocolate, not the powdered stuff. It’s so convenient having him walking distance from work at the clinic. He is always busy in the morning and yet he remembers everyone’s names and orders. Best!

Had a good quality hot chocolate and mocha. They are transparent with their signage that they have a staffing issue and may be slow, and your coffee will we served in a takeaway cup even if dining in. I appreciate the transparency. It was not busy at Saturday midday, and we were served quickly and politely with a smile.

Delicious coffee -my cappuccino had real chocolate drizzle ontop- and as it was quiet my takeaway coffee was bought out and handed directly to me. Just small touches that make the big difference. Thanks and I'll definitely be back!
